Palo Alto parking ramp Levels 3, 4, 5 and below ground levels A & B are EMPTY

City Council: Please answer this question:
Have you gone to the parking ramps in Downtown Palo Alto to see what is OBVIOUS?
Truth: 5 story parking ramps DO NOT "replace surface parking".
Your plan to build state mandated low cost apartments ( with parking ramps ! ) on the downtown business parking lots is FLAWED !
None of the developers have addressed this, because they know what is OBVIOUS!

5 story parking ramps DO NOT "replace surface parking"

Look elsewhere to comply with the state legislators. NOW!

Photos taken during a busy weekday afternoon in downtown Palo Alto.
( no photos taken of Levels 1 and 2 because they were almost fully occupied with cars)

However, at the same time:


Lowest Underground level B is Empty


Underground level A is Empty


Rooftop parking is empty


Level 5 is empty


Level is 4 empty


Level 3 is empty
